        A class is a <span class="emphasis"><em>service</em></span> if it is publicly and unambiguously
        derived from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">execution_context</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">service</span></code>,
        or if it is publicly and unambiguously derived from another service. For
        a service <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">S</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">S</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">key_type</span></code>

<p>
        The first parameter of all service constructors shall be an lvalue reference

        parameter denotes the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">execution_context</span></code>
        object that represents a set of services, of which the service object will
        be a member. [<span class="emphasis"><em>Note:</em></span> These constructors may be called

<p>
        A service shall provide an explicit constructor with a single parameter of
        lvalue reference to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">execution_context</span></code>.
